Poll Technica: will you buy an iPhone 4 at launch?

Preorders for the iPhone 4 will begin tomorrow morning. Are you getting one? …

Following the WWDC keynote, reader reaction to the just-announced iPhone 4 was mostly positive. The new and improved screen, front-facing camera, and iMovie for iPhone are all attractive features that have plenty of users deciding to upgrade or make the switch. However, there are still reasons for some users to avoid buying the iPhone: it's still tied to AT&T here in the US, and the App Store is still a walled garden.

Apple announced that iPhone 4 would be available in stores on June 24, but with preorders starting tomorrow morning, we want to know if you are planning to buy an iPhone 4. If not, what are your reasons? Vote in the poll and let the rest of the world know in the comments.
